Eton Mess with Strawberries
Recipe from Skinnytaste
Ingredients
- 32 ounces strawberries, hulled and divided
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 3 1/2 ounces vanilla meringue cookies
Method
- Slice 4 ounces of strawberries and reserve them for garnish.
- Quarter the rest. Mash half into a chunky puree and set it aside.
- Simmer the other half with the sugar and water for 7–9 minutes, until soft and thickened. Cool completely, then combine it with the raw puree.
- Just before serving, whip the cold cream and vanilla to stiff peaks. Add the yogurt and whip briefly until stiff again.
- Crush the meringues into varied small pieces. Fold most into the cream, reserving a little for the top.
- Layer the strawberry mixture and cream among eight small glasses or bowls. Finish with the reserved sliced berries and meringue crumbs.
